Peacock is the common name for three species of birds in the pheasant family Pavo and Afropavo, pheasants and their allies. Male peacocks are called peacocks and female peacocks are called peacocks, although peacocks of both sexes are often colloquially called "peacocks". [1] The two Asian species are the blue peacock or Indian peacock native to the Indian subcontinent, and the green peacock from Southeast Asia; one African species is the Congo peacock, which is only native to the Congo Basin. Male peacocks are known for their harsh calls and luxurious feathers. The latter is particularly prominent among Asian species, which have an eyed "tail" or "string" of concealed feathers displayed as part of the courtship ritual. The delicate rainbow colors of the peacock and the function of a large "train" have been the subject of extensive scientific debate.
Charles Darwin believed that they were designed to attract females, and the showy characteristics of males evolved through sexual selection. Recently, Amotz Zahavi (Amotz Zahavi) proposed in his obstacle theory that these characteristics are real signs of male health, because males with poorer body size will be difficult to survive in such a large and conspicuous structure. At a disadvantage.
